The Fire Master Plan has identified the need to review road names for duplication and similarity.  As a result of this, the Township of Ramara is reviewing the following roads for potential renaming.  Duplicate and similar road names can cause delays in service to residents.  Road selected for possible renaming were chosen based on number of residents, number of permanent residents and known businesses where possible.   Note: At this time, this is a data gathering exercise only! Suggestions and recommendations will be presented in early 2023. Circulation and public notice will occur prior to any decisions being made by Council. 

Open House

The Township of Ramara held a Public Open House on Wednesday June 8, 2022 to provide an opportunity to collect data and feedback from residents to help inform a report and recommendation regarding the Road Name Review being presented to Council in early 2023.
